In our Creative Thinking module all of us were watching a video by Tim Brown called Tales of creativity and play on ted.com. In the beginning of the video he is talking about the judgement of our peers which leads to a fear within people to share their ideas. He then talks about kids who willingly share their work with anybody who is interested to look at it. This part right here states the very obvious, as we grow older and more intelligent we tend to become more afraid and this forms restrictions on our ideas and beliefs as well. No matter how grown up we call ourselves we will still be afraid of judgement and other people's behaviour towards us.
I believe that we should be capable of expressing our ideas and thoughts irrespective of someone's reactions such that it doesn't create a block in the creative development of a person. Due to this fear and constant criticism from others our creative process has a tendency to become stagnant. Such that the creative thinking of someone doesn't slowly die down one should be able to take the criticism or just completely ignore it.
No matter what day or age it might be anything different or unique will always be criticised just because it is something new. Just because we are so used to the 'normal' we tend to over think about the new and scrutinise it under a new light. For the very same reason creativity slowly disappears with age because through creativity we come up with something new which is not always welcomed.
